1. An adjustable inclined foot scanner comprising:
a frame having a connected platform;
a positionally adjustable rear foot support connected to the frame and movable with respect to the platform in a first plane about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis;
an automatically adjustable rigid heel support pivotally mounted on the rear foot support along a pivotal axis perpendicular to the first plane, the pivotal heel support includes a heel support plate and a heel positioning concavity formed therein, wherein the pivotal heel support is configured to automatically position a user's foot at a wedge angle based on the user;
a front foot scanning assembly having at least one front foot camera directed to a front portion of the platform;
an underfoot scanning assembly having at least one underfoot camera positioned approximate an underside portion of the platform, wherein the at least one underfoot camera has an unimpeded view between the rear foot support and the platform; and
